Google's PageRank has created a new synergy to information retrieval for a better ranking of Web pages. It ranks documents depending on the topology of the graphs and the weights of the nodes. PageRank has significantly advanced the field…
We consider the multilinear pagerank problem studied in [Gleich, Lim and Yu, Multilinear Pagerank, 2015], which is a system of quadratic equations with stochasticity and nonnegativity constraints. We use the theory of quadratic vector…
This study develops PureRank, a parameter-free importance measure for network nodes based on the recursive definition of importance (RDI). For any directed network, PureRank uniquely determines an importance score vector without…
Social studies researchers use graphs to model group activities in social networks. An important property in this context is the centrality of a vertex: the inverse of the average distance to each other vertex. We describe a randomized…
In this paper, we consider the problem of diversity in ranking of the nodes in a graph. The task is to pick the top-k nodes in the graph which are both 'central' and 'diverse'. Many graph-based models of NLP like text summarization, opinion…
Identifying central entities and interactions is a fundamental problem in network science. While well-studied for graphs (pairwise relations), many biological and social systems exhibit higher-order interactions best modeled by hypergraphs.…
We introduce a new measure of centrality, the information centrality C^I, based on the concept of efficient propagation of information over the network. C^I is defined for both valued and non-valued graphs, and applies to groups and classes…
Given a social network, which of its nodes are more central? This question has been asked many times in sociology, psychology and computer science, and a whole plethora of centrality measures (a.k.a. centrality indices, or rankings) were…
This paper systematically studies the behavior of the leading eigenvectors for independent edge undirected random graphs generated from a general latent position model whose link function is possibly infinite rank and also possibly…
A deformation of the combinatorial Laplacian is proposed, consisting in a generalization of several existing Laplacians. As particular cases of this construction, the dilation Laplacians are shown to be useful tools for ranking in directed…
In this work we consider the problem of maximizing the PageRank of a given target node in a graph by adding $k$ new links. We consider the case that the new links must point to the given target node (backlinks). Previous work shows that…
The rankability of data is a recently proposed problem that considers the ability of a dataset, represented as a graph, to produce a meaningful ranking of the items it contains. To study this concept, a number of rankability measures have…
This article provides an alternative perspective for measuring author impact by applying PageRank algorithm to a coauthorship network. A weighted PageRank algorithm considering citation and coauthorship network topology is proposed. We test…
In graph-based applications, a common task is to pinpoint the most important or ``central'' vertex in a (directed or undirected) graph, or rank the vertices of a graph according to their importance. To this end, a plethora of so-called…
Community and core-periphery are two widely studied graph structures, with their coexistence observed in real-world graphs (Rombach, Porter, Fowler \& Mucha [SIAM J. App. Math. 2014, SIAM Review 2017]). However, the nature of this…
In the search engine of Google, the PageRank algorithm plays a crucial role in ranking the search results. The algorithm quantifies the importance of each web page based on the link structure of the web. We first provide an overview of the…
Connections among entities are everywhere. From social media interactions to web page hyperlinks, networks are frequently used to represent such complex systems. Node ranking is a fundamental task that provides the strategy to identify…
We study the typical behavior of a generalized version of Google's PageRank algorithm on a large family of inhomogeneous random digraphs. This family includes as special cases directed versions of classical models such as the…
Local clustering aims to find a compact cluster near the given starting instances. This work focuses on graph local clustering, which has broad applications beyond graphs because of the internal connectivities within various modalities.…
During the last two decades, we easilly see that the World Wide Web's link structure is modeled as the directed graph. In this paper, we will model the World Wide Web's link structure as the directed hypergraph. Moreover, we will develop…
